Just recently purchased a Manta Ray 15 (8.75g) 15x15x9 and in need of lighting suggestions.
I'm interested in either LED Par38's, Par30's or old school 70w MH
I'd like to keep ricordea, zoanthids, and maxima clams.
The Issue: I dont' want to have my LED light more than 10"-12" over the tank, and have had bad experiences bleaching my corals with an LED light in the past.
Options include LEDTRiC, Orphek, and BoostLED.
LEDTRiC-gets rave reviews, hear its crazy bright, but I think it may be too powerful and need to be suspended higher than I would like
Orphek-apparently it runs dim, but this is due to its PUR ratings, based on a color spectrum that benefits coral growth ect. It supposedly has lower Green spectrum than other LED, which translates to "Brightness" to the human eye.
It also has a UV led, and is dimmable
BoostLED: Supposedly has excellent PAR ratings, and I'm thinking that a Par30 would better suit my aquarium needs.
Your Recommendations would be greatly appreciated.
